Human body parts and the penguin were found during the clearance of a Lanarkshire medical waste plant.

Healthcare Environmental Services was based in Shotts, North Lanarkshire before it went out of business in 2019

Mr Wightwick claimed other dead animals were found at the site but were unidentifiable because they had turned to a "kind of liquid fur". In evidence, Wightwick added: "When we first went on site it was wall-to-wall with waste and we had to clear an area to work from because there was no space there."Initially it was hard to identify what anything was and we had thought the anatomical waste was in the freezer but when we started dismantling the pallets, there was anatomical waste in them.Change of rules
